SERVICES for All Saints Sunday, November 1, 2020.
8:00am Indoors
10:30am Online (Recorded)
10:30am Outdoor Service (Weather permitting)
You are asked to bring your own lawn chairs and/or blankets, but you do not bring
one with you, one will be provided.
Please note that there will be no additional announcement regarding inclement
weather. In the event of rain, the 10:30 service will still be held indoors; even with
social distancing, we can accommodate as many as sixty people in the Nave.
COMMUNION For those who chose to continue with online worship, Pastor Jeff
is offering communion after the in-person service. It will be available from 11:45-
12:30. You can park in the front lot and either come to the Nave doors, or pull up
to the edge of the courtyard and I will come to your car.
WORSHIP TIMES With the arrival of colder weather, we will no longer be
attempting outdoor services. The next few weeks will be a time to assess our need
for multiple indoor services. We will continue 8:00 and 10:30 services through
November 15, but following that, we will assess whether or not to continue two
services or return to a single indoor service. During the week preceding November
22, we will announce a decision in the same way that we have been doing: on
Facebook and with an announcement on the church’s outgoing voicemail
announcement.
FROM THE OFFICE Staff will be working in the office and from home. If you
need immediate assistance during our absence, please contact Pastor Jeff at 570-
220-3631 or Sarah Young 570-932-1753. We will respond to your emails and calls
as soon as possible, from the office and remotely. Thank you.
